An Exceptional Wedding Planned in Just 30 Days – Perfect Venue, Perfect Day!
Our vision came to life perfectly—a stress-free, seamless wedding that stayed within our budget. We planned everything in just 30 days, and our coordinator, Erin, was instrumental in making it all happen. We’re deeply grateful for her support and attention to detail.
The event spaces are stunning, with elegant, updated interiors set in a historic building in the heart of the city. The hotel offers two unique venues on the 24th and 25th floors. The 24th floor is ideal for a cocktail reception, while the 25th floor serves as the main space for the ceremony and banquet. There’s also a charming library-themed photo zone on the 25th floor, perfect for capturing beautiful wedding photos.
Our wedding package included a DJ and a custom wedding cake, both of which exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, the guests were happy, and the bar service was exceptional, with bartenders crafting any cocktail we requested.
The pricing is reasonable for Center City Philadelphia, offering excellent value for the quality of service provided. As a lovely bonus, the hotel included a spacious two-room suite for us, along with a complimentary treat of chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne.
We highly recommend Hotel Palomar Philadelphia for weddings. It’s a beautiful venue with outstanding service, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice.
Excellent Choice
We chose the Kimpton due to our smaller guest count (65 out of 85 people the day of) and for the size convenience of the location and I'd pick it again every time. The *only* thing I'd change is extending our cocktail hour a little bit, cause the elevators are slow and it takes time to get from the park to the 24th floor :).
We had our ceremony in John F Collins Park and the cocktail hour, reception, and after party inside the hotel. The entire day went completely smooth and everyone had a blast. We found the wedding package to be very reasonable, especially for the city location, and we were able to make a lot of customizations to suit our needs. We also chose to do our tasting just the two of us and had the bartender custom make our signature drinks which was an amazing experience and was even better on the wedding day. Also can't say enough good things about chef Patrick and the food--we had the duck as one of our entrees and I can't describe just how good it was.
We booked out the hotel bar for our after party which was icing on the cake. Everyone got in their comfy clothes and it was nice to be able to spend extra time with people we might have missed on the dance floor. The food & drinks there were top tier too.
I read a lot of reviews gushing about this place and I'm happy to add to them. We had a great wedding weekend and I'd highly recommend this venue.
Perfect spot for a Philly wedding!
The entire staff was absolutely lovely and so helpful. Honestly from our wedding coordinators to the servers, everyone helped make our day a blast. The top floor had perfect lighting for the ceremony and allowed for some phenomenal views during the cocktail hour and reception.
You also cannot beat the location. We had our groom’s dinner and after-party in a different location and both were easy walking distance from the hotel. You can’t go wrong with Hotel Palomar!
Best Day Ever
An elegant but affordable experience!
We hosted an intimate wedding with about 60 guests, and the Palomar’s ballroom was the perfect size—cozy enough to feel personal yet spacious enough to include a dance floor. We opted for the plated dinner option and transformed the library into a dessert room, which was an absolute hit! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the delicious food, the impeccable service, and the attention to detail.
The ballroom itself is understated yet elegant, offering a versatile backdrop that can be enhanced with personal touches. The hotel also accommodated our need for Halal food, which was a key factor in our decision. After searching extensively for a venue that could meet this requirement while still offering an elegant setting and a dance floor, we found the Palomar to be unmatched—both in value and quality. We feel so fortunate to have celebrated our wedding there!
Beyond the ballroom, the hotel is stunning and offers gorgeous backdrops for couple and family portraits. With the right photographer, your wedding photos will be breathtaking.
The highlight of our experience, however, was working with Erin Schwamb. She is an exceptional coordinator—organized, professional, kind, and detail-oriented. Erin ensured every request, no matter how small, was addressed, and she maintained clear communication throughout our nearly year-long planning process, primarily over email. She was transparent about what the hotel could and couldn’t accommodate, making the entire process seamless. On the wedding day, Erin and her team were incredible, serving as a flawless liaison between us, the staff, and our other vendors. Thanks to them, the day flowed smoothly, and we felt completely stress-free.
We kept our decorations simple with flower centerpieces, a Jenga guestbook, a few framed pictures, and table signs. The staff set everything up beautifully and worked closely with our DJ and photographer to ensure every detail was perfect. Thanks to their expertise, we didn’t need to hire an additional coordinator.
Erin even coordinated with the staff at John F. Collins Park, where we held our ceremony. Her efforts ensured that everything came together effortlessly.
If you’re considering the Palomar for your wedding, don’t hesitate—book now! It was truly the best decision we made for our special day.
Amazing experience from start to finish!!!

This is a fantastic venue to host a wedding or party! It's such a unique hotel, and we love the decor. It always gives us so many options for wedding photos! Such a cool place!
Writing for Silver Sound DJs an endorsement for Hotel Palomar, I have had the experience of twice entertaining Hotel Palomar wedding receptions. This Hotel is very new and has a delightful modern style with a touch of the Art Deco style. The decorum and design is very sharp for a signature event, where you want to impress with very pleasant surroundings. The staff are friendly and helpful, they work in tandem towards a pleasing experience for the client and guests. I have also stayed at the Hotel as a guest, the Hotel rooms are of the highest quality, with super design and furnishings. I think this Hotel is one of Philadelphia's greatest secrets. I look forward to entertaining at the Hotel Palomar again. Paul Evans - President and Founder Silver Sound Entertainment.
